SafeHands®, an alcohol-free instant hand sanitizer, is a solution for those who have experienced the serious side effects of the repeated use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Alcohol-based products can actually increase the risk of exposure to the same pathogens that they were designed to kill. Germs can get trapped in the crevices of dry skin and increase the potential risk of cross contamination. Repeated daily use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers can be a threat to public safety.

Non-toxic, nonflammable SafeHands Alcohol-Free Instant Hand Sanitizer is FDA-approved. Its germ-killing, organic agent benzalkonium chloride, an FDA approved active ingredient used safely in products such as eye drops and nasal sprays and other healthcare products for over 50 years, has been scientifically tested and proven superior to alcohol-based products in germ killing. Independent in-vitro (microbiological) testing and in vivo (human subject) studies at a major U.S. university show that SafeHands kills 99.99% of germs and fungi in 30 seconds, including the MRSA, VRE and Clostridium difficile (vegetative form) and free-living bacteria such as TB, E-coli and Salmonella, as well viruses including HIV and Hepatitis A and B. Additionally, the germ-killing benefits of SafeHands increases with repeated use.

SafeHands is a “good-feeling” product that encourages sound hand sanitizing practices, as it uses the natural oils in the skin (versus stripping away natural oils as alcohol-based products do). Even aloe in alcohol-based products does not revive the skin’s oils. SafeHands never leaves the skin dry, red or cracked. The product transfers water to the skin, leaving hands hydrated, soft and smooth. Using alcohol–based products can trigger a resistance and aversion to proper hygiene. But SafeHands’ delivery system – a formulated phospholipid-based component – is kinder to the skin while it kills germs. Our proprietary formula uses an FDA approved germ-killing agent that has been scientifically tested and proven superior to alcohol-based products in germ killing, non-drying, skin smoothing and non-flammability.
